About Dennis

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger and depression. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma and life changes. He works from a clear, straightforward approach and aims to make sessions easy to follow.

Dennis draws on six years of experience in different roles across human relations and systems. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting conversation. He also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to address thoughts, behaviours and motivation.

Sessions are shaped around everyday problems like relationship strain, intimacy concerns, communication struggles and self-esteem. He can also help with more specific issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, abandonment and body image. The focus is practical: identify small steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping.

Dennis emphasises empathy, honest feedback and non-judgemental listening in the room. He blends talking therapies with creative counselling techniques and coaching skills when useful. That mix helps people move from understanding to action.

People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is straightforward and aimed at finding the right way forward for each person.

How Dennis blends talking therapies for online work

Dennis commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing as part of his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and supported while they find their own solutions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and increases readiness to make changes.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Dennis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit those aims. He mixes quieter reflective work with goal-focused techniques so the plan matches what the client wants to achieve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use different ways of working, such as focusing on thought exercises between meetings or using coaching-style goal setting to track progress.
